CNN: Report: CIA flights ’spider’s web’

“LONDON, England (CNN) — The head of an investigation into alleged CIA secret prisons in Europe has accused the U.S. spy agency of orchestrating a global “spider’s web” of detentions and transfers.

Council of Europe investigator Dick Marty listed seven member states who could be held responsible, in varying degrees, for violations of the rights of named individuals by colluding in these operations.

Marty, a Swiss senator, said in his report that Romania was part of what he called a “renditions circuit” and was used as a stopover by CIA planes carrying terrorism suspects.

He also said a Polish airport was likely used as a detainee drop-off point and accused several other countries of colluding with the CIA’s “questionable activities.”"
